UK-based packaging brand Kite Packaging has expanded its equipment offering with the introduction of a new range of spiral wrapping machines and sustainable, compatible films.
Spotlighting the Robopac Compacta series, which uses a high-speed rotating ring to apply stretch film in a precise spiral motion, this device is engineered for wrapping long, narrow, or irregularly shaped products, these machines enhance productivity by reducing manual labour, cutting material waste, and ensuring consistent application. Each unit is foot-pedal operated and features automatic clamping and film cutting to further improve efficiency.
Offered in four model variants—Compacta 4, 6, 9, and 12—the range provides flexibility in film width and application scope. An intuitive control panel allows users to program custom wrapping cycles, while integrated infeed and outfeed conveyors ensure smooth incorporation into existing workflows.
